Redhawk Caldera how swiftly you dismiss our love...

The Alpha male heard the howl but he was on the other side of the caldera. He wasn't remotely interested in a new recruit but perhaps this wolf knew something about Lucy's whereabouts. Or perhaps it was the kidnapper himself (even if that made no sense). In any case, Peregrine hauled ass to the source of the call, though it took him some time to get there. Shrike had gotten there first and he thought to himself, Goddamn, that guy is trusty as fuck.

"Who's this?" he said upon approach, shrewdly eyeballing the stranger who looked like a masculine version of his mate before glancing at the side of his Gamma's face. He made sure to catch his eye and give him a subtle nod of approval and gratitude. But then his sharp eyes flashed back to the stranger. "Does he know something?" Peregrine asked loudly but vaguely, not wanting to give away details of the situation just in case this was nothing more than a routine joining rote.
